Body Damage Thread

Post pics of the body damage we get on our runs or just out wheelin!

These are from Reiter Pit April 3,2004

This is after I bent it back out, no more mirror!(Or pinstripes, I took them off that side because they were all messed up anyways)

I never knew a girl could do as much damage as Doug!

Dang, Katie! Nice job. I know how those WA trees are. Two years ago our club went over the Naches trail and there were two of us Exploders. DanB didn't fare so well vs the WA trees. He's looked worse than yours did by the trips end.

So when are we going to SAS that thing?

Yeah, the tree kinda just took ahold of me and I had a horrible time getting around it cause I only still have 2wd... I'm wanting the SAS(especially since my front diff is seized anyways) and thinking about the SAS, but don't know how or when it could happen. WAY beyond my expertise!

Bring it on down, you're not that far away.

I really may have to take you up on that down the road, I dont have too much money right now and I know SAS are not cheap....

 

[NOTAJP]

Ha ha ha....
I promise I wont take you on the trail I did that on if we go to Reiter...
I almost cried when it actually sunk in that I messed my truck up so bad... Then I got over it and took a mallet to the dents.

Carnage is cool.Girls with carnage is even cooler.

Hell, I almost cry over brush scratches, I guess the newness needs to wear off before I can just laugh the dings and scrapes off.

Then my girlfriend kindly reminds me that I removed the silver pinstriping only to add a bunch of white ones.

Happily I say that I don't have any rash that truly deserves to be added to this thread.

I read in another of your posts, that you were having difficulty finishing off the lift and related stuffs due to the absence of your project helper.
If you need help, I am literally just up the road, and willing to give a hand.
I am not by any means an experienced builder of off road rigs, but I can follow instructions in a manual pretty well or figure things out if need be(especially when beer is involved lol).

Give a PM or a call if you need. I believe you have my number from the February run planning. RE: Tow Hooks
Bryce

LOL, just wait. Its inevitable. But I'm sure you know that.

Thank you for the offer of help. Yet another reason I love this board so much is people just offer to help just because they can. Right now I'm at a sort of stand still when it comes to doing anything to my rig. I just bought a new mirror and am going to rattle can the scrapes and dents hopefully today. I have given up on anything about the lift for now mainly due to money purposes. Anyone around WA know of or have any 33's for sale? I'm in desperate need of some.

No rattle can!

Katie, that doesn't look bad enough to ruin it with a rattle can, please don't do it.

Bryce has already told you how good he is with a 10" buffer, I'll bet a half case off beer would make most of that dissapear.

I wish so badly that it wasn't so bad... But this Sh*t will not buff out. lol! The scrapes are down to the metal, into the doors original color(red) and the paint is flaking off on some parts where it got severely bent up. The top of the fender is totally flaking off and its bare metal, and the edge of the door is to the metal from getting bent out yesterday. I have to cover it so it doesn't rust. I guess those pics don't do the scars justice. I dont really have another choice besides getting it professionally repainted.

Clean it up real good and shoot it with a good quality primer. Then later if you feel like painting it with a better paint you can. Dents stay, but paint can be fixed. Besides a good primer/sealer will protect the metal better.

Here are my new dents from this weekend up at reiter, on the Index Wall trail...
The first one was from a tight spot that rubbed me against a tree, no biggie..

Now this one sucked, I was backing up over a rock and came down off the rock too hard and hit a tree. Now I need a new tail light. I guess I should be happy I didn't break the glass...

LOL, even if you did it woulda stayed together, with all those stickers

 

[WAExplorer]

I have a good right tail light left over from the pair I bought off e-bay. I just needed the left side. It's just sitting in my garage. It's got a small chip out of the bottom/black trim area. I'll let ya have it. I'm in Everett every now and then to visit family. Plus, I want to check out Reiter anyway.

I've already shown this recently, buy since this is the damage thread. Right rear quarter panel dent from Elbe Hills.
